Where Are The Residents?

Is it as quiet in your offices today (10/5) as it is mine??

I'm alone in the office today...no secretaries, no department director...and had prepared for the day by getting all my important stuff out of the way earlier in the week...but nothing is happening today. 2 phone calls...4 people stopped in the office...

Quiet, too quiet

I think you are right on target. We are usually a very busy department with 15 to 17 new applications every two weeks. We've only gotten about 15 in the past month. And a lot fewer phone calls.
I think everyone's just still in a mood from recent events.
